This letter is in support of the application of Mr. Phillip Cross for a summer traineeship at the University of Texas.Mr. Cross has been employed at the Texas School for the Blind on an Emergency Permit during this 1968-1969 School year and exhibits characteristics which makes us think he has good potential as a teacher of the visually handicapped.

Since he has no specialized training, I think it would be particularly important if your department could help him secure a traineeship for this purpose.
